Sister for Sophia

[frillseeking]

We have a boys name sorted but we're really struggling with girls names. We don't know what we're having but I don't want to be in a panic if it's a girl or have a little baby no name! DD1 is Sophia Rose. DH loves Charlotte, I'm not entirely convinced. Last time I liked Sadie but know another family with a Sophia and Sadie which is putting me off. Quite like Florence, quite like Olivia but nothing setting my world on fire. Any suggestions welcome

I personally feel like Charlotte really common and near enough everyone knows one. How about Sierra a less common name than sienna but still equally beautiful plus Sophia and Sierra flow nicely you could also have linking middle names like Sophia Rose and Sierra lily

That's what puts me off gymgirl. It's a lovely name but it's so common. Sierra is nice, not sure if it's a bit too out there for me. I am thinking Sienna could be nice and then nickname could be Cici. I love names like a Coco but in reality I'm not brave enough and DH wouldn't approve!

Don't go for Olivia, it is popular to the point of losing its niceness, it's so dull. Olive is better?

Charlotte is really nice because even though it is popular, it is such a strong classic and timeless name.

Everyone else I know with a Sophia has an Isabelle or an Isla so don't choose that, it's also very popular and boring.

I think you need something a little unexpected otherwise the popularity of both names together brings the other one down if you know what I mean. Sophia is a popular name but if she has a sibling with a non-obvious pairing then they both seem nicer and fresher.

I like Sadie but agree it's a bit annoying if someone you know has that exact pair. Florence is ok, a bit overdone I feel.

Phoebe? Penelope? Summer? Orla? Helena?

Elisha, at least that's what Sophia's sister is called in this house!

Eliza
Amelie

I really like Olivia @frillseeking I know it’s popular but I actually don’t know of any

PP’s suggestion of Charlotte Olivia nn Coco is inspired!

I also thought of Constance.

Elena
Helen(a)
Rose
Annabelle

I have a Sophia (aged 14) and a Helena (aged 11). Seems to be a popular suggestion on here, and I always get compliments on the DCs' names, though I sometimes wonder if I was a little too conservative. Olivia is really pretty and Livia is similar sounding but less popular. I've never liked Charlotte, which sounds harsh and frumpy to me, but I'm too old to change it now!
